Year 11 – 1 Year GCSE

The One-Year GCSE course is an intensive programme which consolidates two years of study into just one year. The course is suitable for those pupils who may have transferred to the UK at the end of Year 10 (or equivalent) and therefore need to complete their GCSE studies in one year. The course is also suitable for those international pupils who wish to study A levels but who first need an introduction to the British curriculum, seen as a Pre-A Level course. Upon completion of the course, pupils may transfer to Mill Hill School to study A levels, subject to meeting entry requirements. Our Year 11 pupils are given guidance relating to the internal Year 12 application process early in the Autumn term.Pupils study Mathematics and English as their core curriculum. To recognise the variety of educational and cultural backgrounds that pupils come from and their individual interests and aptitudes, particularly language proficiency, the pupils then select three options.Pupils are advised to think about breadth of study although this may not always be appropriate or achievable.
